Pert Royal, March, s, 1886.

n. GREEN in the Lebanon Herald
demands the repeal OF the old law
which provides that no man shall be a
competent witness in court of Justice
who does not believe in God and in a
future state OF reward and punishment.
Mr.. Green is correct in his reasoning
The hope of reward and the fear of
punishment is slavish proposition.
The man who will not tell the truth
for truths sake and out of respect for
his own manhood cannot be trusted to
tell the truth in regard to what he be-
lieves in regard to any given subject
Perjury ought to be punished more
promptly, and as it is matter OF civil
and not religious opinion in the Court
house, it would he an effective matter
with many witnesses if the oath, in
stead of ending in the words: $50 help
me God" were changed so that the
clerk would be instructed to ask "do
YOU promise that the evidence you
give in this case shall be the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
50 help you Sheriff"

Mr.. EDIToR.--I see in your paper
that the amount for first class hotel
is about raised, to he built on the Gen.
trail hotel lot. Now this is dear old
place to me, and hope to see it go up
very soon, if it is in the suburbs. All
places that does the business of Clarks-
vile need good cheap resting place
for the travelling public. This is .
splendid place for the business, as you
know. l came here three years ago,
with four rooms, dining room and
cook room, l now have thirty good
rooms, can accommodate one hun
bred guests, if am crowded as usual
my landlord will put up twenty more.
will say then as | do now, all that are
weary and hungry come will give you
as good fare as you can get in Tennes-
see. There may not be as much style,
but that will be all forgotten when you
see the table filled with such as you
expect at high priced house. Now it
seems very strange for place like this,

The Greatest Invention of the Age,
InDESTRUCTIBLE FUEL CARTRIDGE,

The Fuel Cartridge is the only perfect device
ever invented by which kerosene oil can be
used as fuel in any ordinary cook stove, range
or heater. The Fuel Cartridge is metal cyl
inder packed with ncOmbustible material,
with absorbent qualities sufficient to absorb
one pint of oil, which will burn one hOnr
and produce enough heat to cook a meal. or
warm q room, without the aid of coal, wood.
or other fuel NO DANGER.
There is not the slightest danger in using
kerosene with the Fuel Cartridge, as from its
open, porous form it cOnm0t explode and is
therefore no more dangerous than Coal or
Wood. HOW USED.
The Fuel Cartridge is so simple that but
brief directions for its use are necessary. With
each cartridge is tin can and all that is neces-
sary rs TO fill the can with oil suf1ient TO cover
cartridge; allow 1t TO soak three minutes, or as
muchlouge as you desire, then with an or
binary poker place itin your stove on plece of
paper. light the paper and your fire is ready
After the cartridge is fairly burning shut your
front drafts and regulate with hampers in
stove pipe. When not in use the cartridge
should be kept in the can. It's not necessary
to remove coal ashes from the firebOx of your
stove il the cartridge is used after coal has
been burned, as the remaining ashes will raise
the cartridge into position, when it will give
more intense heat TO the top stove,

Alderman Bellls,s Order.

In Monday nights proceedings of the
City Council, Alderman Bells asked and
obtained leave, to submit to the City
Council an ordinance repeating the pro-
vision which permits police officers, when
iuformers, to receive half the fines impOs-
ed for violations of the city ordinances,
and turns all such fines into the city treas
ury. II also prohibits the police from
charging any fees for serving summonses
or any processes whatever in city cases.
We do not understand the object of this
ordnance. There seems, however, to be
some inconsistency in the present ordi
nances on the subject; as by section 3, ar
ticle 10 of the code, the police are allow
ed half the penalty when they act as in
formers; while session 8, of article %
Invests them with the powers and autho:i-
u of constables, and section of the same
article says they shall pay said fines into
the hands of the city collector or treasurer
as soon as received" and does not refer to
the reservation of their moiety. We pre-
sumo it is the desire of Alderman BELLS
10 more definitely settle the powers and
rights OF police officers.

Judge ID. r. Magruder, and b. II.
Camalier, counsel for Biscoe the con-

again brought the case 70 halt with more
legal tecnhicalities and have filed petit
tion in the nature Of q writ of error, ask
ing an order of the court granting the pc
tltion and praying that the case be sent
again TO the Court Of Appeals on the
ground set forth In the petition. The pa
per which Is quite volnmiuous contains
all the points urged by counsel during
the progress of the trial In May last. The
exceptions taken by counsel have not been
filed and these seem TO have been aban-
doned and the counsel will endeavor TO
get the case to the Appeal Court on the
petition just filed The paper contains
nine points Of error In substance as fol-
lows:
LIST. That the indictment was INSULT
cient.
End. That court erred in oyerruling
arrest Of judgment.
3rd. That this court had no jurisdic-
ton to try the case.
4th. That second trial of case should
have occurred in ST. Mary's county.
9Th. That the case was never validly
removed from st. Mary's county.
9Th. That the court for st. Mary 8
county had no jurisdiction or cognizance
of the odense.
9TH. That the verdict was insufficient
9Th. That the jury was not properly
polled.
9th. That from the invalid polling Of
the jury no proper verdict was given.
Judge Stone, of that judicial circuit.
signed the order granting the petition.
This will have the effect of causing stay
of execution until the points mentioned
above are decided by the Court of Ap.
peals. They will probably be argued be-
fore the Court at its coming October
term.
To which the Port Tobacco Times re.
marks: After the failure of the counsel
OF Biscee to file their exceptions in the
case within the time allowed them by the
court for that purpose, and after the SEN
tence of death had been pronounced upon
the prisoner and he was taken back to st.
Mary's to wait his execution, our people
had thought an end of the case had been
reached, and that the perpetrator OF an
atrocious crime would soon pay the pen
atty for bis dastardly act, but such, how
ever, seems not to be the case.

What the Late Superintendent or
Bar Ridge Thinks Of AnnapolItans


Il is q well known fact. that AnnapoI-
itans are liberal patrons OF Bay Ridge;
and Il Is also another well-knOwn fact,
that as q general thing, for legitimate
pleasure they spend their money freely.
The late superintendent Of Bay Ridge.
however was recently heard by several
Annapolitans to say that he had yet to
see an Annapolitan who was worth a
d-n. An Annapolitsn standing by
resented the scurrilous lemark in some
very sharp words. and asked why they
catered for Annapolis patronage, and gave
free expression to his opinion Of such
reflections on the good people of our city.
We apprehend that it Is the desire OF the
Bay Ridge company, that all persons who
visit their resort shall receive equal cour-
tesy from their employees; yet many OF
onr citizens who have visited there, have
received, -if not really rude treatment
certainly that of great discourtesy. Many
Of our citizens 60 to Bay Ridge TO spend
the day, and take their lunch or dinner
with them. and when they have taken a
chair to sit on while eating, they have
been requested by the servants to give
them up. Ii is natural the Bay Ridge
company shodld want all people who
come there to spend their money. Per.
sons Of moderate means cannot spend
largely, but hardly any oLe goes there,
that does not spend something, and sin
gle discourtesy may have the effect OF
keeping away many persons who would
otherwise visit the resort. Life is made
up of small things and the man who
spends from his little his dimes, should
from business standpoinD receive the
same cour estes as he who from his plenty
spends his dollars. Esop tells of Lion
that was once released from a trap by a
mouse, therefore we may say to our
friends of the Bay Ridge company (who
we wish all success(-"D cspise not the
